* That's right- I have the 1st two (almost 3) weeks of lesson plans written. It's killing me that I haven't been able to get into the school yet so I have been doing everything that I can to get as prepared as possible from home. Plus I will be taking an online Canadian Studies class this year, as well as substitute teaching on the Tuesdays & Thursdays I'm not teaching kindergarten ANDDD am going to try to keep my job at Boston Pizza by working weekends. WHEW! This is going to be one super busy Fall.

I may not be able to get in the school yet but that doesn't stop me from laminating... Thanks to Scholar's Choice I got all this laminated for only $18. Hey, that beats the $50 I spent @ Staples to get one poster and 5 small cards laminated. Talk about ridiculous. I am so glad Scholar's Choice has a reasonable price for laminating. Anyone want to help cut things out for me?!

I bought me these R-E-A-D letters @ Walmart and just finished painting them. Now I just need to add ribbon so that I can hang them up in the classroom. I bought so many goodies for the classroom that I can't wait to show y'all the photos once it's all up.

I'm a little jealous that you still have a month of summer left. I officially go back to work in 5 days (although technically I'm already back to get that room straightened up!). Wishing you a fabulous fall!-JenTropical Teacher

I've been wanting another dog too but I'm scared about my dog getting jealous. I'm also jealous that you don't have to start back until September. I report back on the 15th and the kids start on the 26th. love the blog!

Well I know our bigger dog would love a playmate b/c our small dog is too prissy & won't play with him. Ha ha ha...But not sure if 3 dogs are too many. I know it's crazy but I'm ready for school to start sooner but I think that's #1 b/c the school I used to teach at started the 1st week of Aug & #2 I couldn't teach last year due to moving to Canada. I hope you have a fabulous first week of school!!!

Thanks Lola! Yeah, I know I can handle a weekend job since I did it the last 3 years I taught in the States it's just taking an online class as well makes me nervous. But I will think of you working weekends too as encouragement. If only teachers could all have raises so we wouldn't need to work weekends... LOL- Heck, I'd even take winning the lotto :)

Want to come write my lesson plans?? I really need to get my butt in gear on that. My hope was to get the first couple of weeks ready ahead of time. My only problem is I have no idea how many students I will have and I probably won't know my official schedule until the day before school starts. I can't create my "actual" lesson plans until I know that information.

Thanks for letting me part of your amazing giveaway!!!! You rock girl!

Yeah I feel ya girl... It's hard to plan when you don't know. I don't really know either- I am just guess-stimating. LOL! I got my list of kids in June and so far my list only has 16 kids!!! BUT... as you know that always changes so I'm planning for 20-25 just in case. And as for my schedule I have no clue of mine, I just made mine up based on my last school schedule so I will have a lot of adjusting to do. I just know of how many minutes I want to spend in each subject/area. My BIG problem is fitting what I taught in a 5 day kinder program and trying to fit it in a rotation of 2day/3day kinder program. Craziness! Good luck with getting it all together. I know you will in time :)
